Time, More Time!

The last couple of days, I have felt so overwhelmed.... there are so many projects I want to do, to begin, to work on, to finish, and over the weekend... blah.  I barely got anything done. :/   That's the problem with the hot time of year here.  It can be difficult to get outdoors for any length of time to work on anything.  And having a dog means I need to spend time with her, as well.  So carving out three or four hours of computer time to work on pictures -- mostly getting them organized -- well, it just doesn't happen.  So I'm attempting to do these little things one step every day.  And some days ... I just can't seem to do it

.

Work has been an issue as well.  Where to begin, because there isn't ever a real starting place.  About a year ago, I was doing the data entry for schedules for us key five people in an area.  For some reason, someone decided that because I'm not management, I shouldn't be doing them, and took away the option.  Back then, I just laughed it off, because I knew that it would come back to me.  There's not a person in our BigBox store who gets paid enough to keep track of all 300+ employees' schedules on a weekly basis.  It needs to be divvied up between areas, and be better managed.  A week ago, there came a day when there were only two of the five people at work on a given day.  And you just can't run well when you're that skinny on employees.  So...  "Here, Gal, we need you to start doing the schedules again so this doesn't happen."  **laughing all the way to the bank**  The added an "oh by the way...." thing on the end, however.  They want me in charge of both areas, acting as "lead" for these other four employees.  It'll be interesting, because they will try and utilize some of the folks in other areas, and now, I have the ~power~ to tell them no!  lol

That being said, I spent too much time in meetings today, and helping in other areas, because there was a need.  Or maybe there were issues with how management saw things operating.  Which meant trying to find a workable solution --- we will get there eventually.

Eventually, there will be enough hours in a day... won't there???
